In Jacksonville pro football lore, the night of July 26, 2014, should be committed to memory. It wasn’t as big as when this city received an NFL expansion team (Nov. 30, 1993), but do not underestimate the power of a reinvigorated marriage.

What transpired Saturday night at EverBank Field — at a Fulham FC-D.C. United soccer friendly/Carrie Underwood concert — was essentially our city and the Jaguars renewing their marriage vows.

Only a naïve person would have any lingering doubt about Jaguars owner Shad Khan and his commitment to making the NFL work in Jacksonville. Saturday night’s unveiling of the world’s largest video boards (60 feet high, 362 feet wide), as part of a $63 million makeover to EverBank, sent the strongest message yet about the Jaguars being here for the long haul.

“It’s a brand-new stadium,” said Jaguars GM Dave Caldwell. “We pulled up tape of the old scoreboard. Oh, my God. It’s like high school to Disney World.”

This was a historic night because, frankly, Jacksonville and its NFL franchise needed a splash. Not necessarily from water in EverBank’s north end-zone swimming pools (spectacular view, by the way), but a symbolic reminder of how much the merger between the city and Jaguars must occasionally be rejuvenated.

For the Jaguars’ biggest cynics, the debut of these eye-catching video boards and other stadium amenities should cast the NFL team in a different light. Not from a football standpoint yet, but certainly as a business surging to the NFL forefront in trying to provide fan comfort.

“Actions speak louder than words about the investment they’ve made in the stadium,” said EverBank CEO Rob Clements. “They’ve raised the bar significantly in terms of the game-day experience. The rest of the league is now playing catch-up.”

Think about this chain reaction set in motion in less than three years: Former owner Wayne Weaver sells the Jaguars to Khan, mostly because he doesn’t want to wait to find another deep-pocketed owner committed to the NFL succeeding in Jacksonville.

Weaver’s transaction results in the organization being revamped from top to bottom. With Caldwell and coach Gus Bradley leading the football team, it gives the fan base hope that the Jaguars can return to relevance.

That remains a work in progress. Who knows if rookie quarterback Blake Bortles and all of Caldwell’s acquisitions will turn the Jaguars into a playoff contender?

But when you look at the bells and whistles of this football venue, at EverBank making a 10-year, $43 million commitment to retain stadium naming rights, at Khan’s massive investment in the Jaguars and the city’s economic future, what’s not to like?

The most deafening cheer came when Jacksonville Mayor Alvin Brown introduced Khan with as much exuberance as he could muster. An appreciative crowd gave him a standing ovation. After the spectacular HD video boards were revealed in their full glory, Khan told me: “Awesome. Very emotional if you’ve got any blood in your veins.”

Khan has given Jaguars fans almost everything. Now all that’s left is for his team to start winning.
